The energy an object possesses due to its motion.
Kinetic Energy
Where a substance transforms from a gaseous state (vapor) into a liquid state.
Condensation
Melting point of Water
0 Degree °C (32 Degree °F)
What is a proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation?
Hypothesis
The smallest unit of a substance that retains its chemical identity and properties, consisting of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds.
Molecule
The process where a substance transforms from a solid state to a liquid state due to an increase in its internal energy, typically from absorbing heat.
Fusion
Boiling point of Gold
(2836 °C, 5137 °F)
What powder did we use in our experiment to make the crystals?
Borax
The relative size, extent, or degree of something, or the proportion between two sets of dimensions.
Scale
A substance transitions from its liquid state to a gaseous (vapor) state.
Vaporization
Freezing Point of Methane
-182.5 °C (-296.5 °F)
What type of phase change happened during our first experiment?
Liquid to Solid
The ability of a system, whether physical, biological, or abstract, to move or change its state without significant restrictions or constraints.
Freedom of Movement
The direct conversion of a substance from a solid to a gas without passing through the liquid phase, seen in examples like dry ice.
Sublimation
Freezing Point of Copper
1,084°C (1,984°F)
What is a statement that summarizes the results of an experiment, interprets the data, and explains whether the initial hypothesis was supported or refuted?
Conclusion
A measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles within a substance.
Temperature
The formation of a solid from a gas, liquid, or suspension, As seen with the formation of frost from water vapor.
Deposition
Boiling Point of Silver
